Design for a Better Philippines

One important thing that I learned from this year's UXPH event, is that in order for a UX Designer to be effective, empathy should be a driving factor to your decision-making process, and having empathy means breaking your own mental model, so you should be much more open to every social and cultural possibilities of uniqueness, and be an effective advocate of change.

I've learned a lot that I can apply to my work. most especially in being an Advocate of Customer Centric Culture, how to measure your design and a lot more. The Speakers are all good! I'm sure that I will attend UXPH events again!

I like how the speakers gave detailed insights about the different roles that make up a design team (especially the UXR role!). It gave more structure to my current knowledge as I'm a newbie in the UX industry. I'm in my 5th month working as a product designer in a startup (career shifter also) and doing both research and design has been very overwhelming, so I'm really looking for direction. I'd love to join more forums with UXPH!

Great event! The multitude of topics and ginormous insights from this conference just filled my grid notebook — I guess i need to buy a new one. Kudos to the team! The energy, passion, insights, and empowerment is worth a million. More power to the UXPH community!

As a student who is just starting to explore on my career options, the panel discussion on "Shaping Your UX Career" broadened my understanding of the UX industry. It was especially nice to know the origin story of each speaker, and how each of them were from different fields and just transitioned to UX. This proves to me that it is never too late to pursue anything as long as you choose to do so.

UXPH events are great. I'm grateful I had the chance to hear experiences from amazing people, and it's somewhat refreshing to hear people speaking about different perspectives!
